A hybrid fuzzy logic–Random Forest model to predict psychiatric treatment order outcomes: an interpretable tool for legal decision support
This exploratory study offers a novel approach for decision support in forensic psychiatric contexts. Future work should aim to validate the model across other jurisdictions, incorporate more advanced natural language processing for semantic feature extraction, and explore dynamic rule optimization techniques. These enhancements would further improve generalizability, fairness, and practical utility in real-world clinical and legal settings.
